FUN FACT: The orchard lays ground to 2,500 apple trees and more than 100 varieties. It also claims to be the largest producer of deer feeding apples in the region, selling about 5,000 45-pound bags a year.

THE GOODS: A seasonal landmark for many in the region, Bayne’s offers the gamut: apples, cider, doughnuts, pumpkins, pies, baked goods and a nifty gift shop.

FUN FACT: If a bag of doughnuts and a gallon of cider isn’t enough, how about buying the entire store? The building and 19 acres has been listed for sale for $1.15 million for more than a year. See it here: http://bit.ly/1SLpJoo.

FUN FACT: The store’s website states the doughnut shop has been in “constant operation” since 1896, and that it is 100 percent “cop owned.”
